Air Sweepers include vacuum sweepers and regenerative air type sweeper technologies and both lift the material into a debris body or hopper with air. Vacuum sweepers suck the material off the ground through a large nozzle and into the hopper much like a standard home vacuum. Regenerative air sweepers use both pressurized air and vacuum air to move material off the surface and into the debris body or hopper.

The Crosswind GRS, or Glycol Recovery Sweeper, features the standard Crosswind high performance regenerative air sweeper equipped with an option for efficient capture and removal of environmentally damaging glycol and other deicing fluid run-off on airport runways and gate locations. All sweeping gear and technology is left intact to quickly perform both the sweep and liquid pickup applications without compromise. The decant system allows the sludge like material to be easily pumped off into proper receptacles.

The Crosswind GRS is an ideal sweeper for efficient capture and removal of environmentally damaging glycol and other deicing fluid runoff on airport runways and gate locations with the added versatility of providing general maintenance sweeping airports require. The glycol recovery system does not affect any of the standard sweeping functions, making the unit immediately available after offloading the recovered liquid. This sweeper is a true multi-purpose machine and can perform both the sweep and liquid pickup applications without compromise.

• An enhanced blower fan with a flow blocker system that temporarily restricts airflow while operating the engine at higher speeds, allowing for the quick pump-off of glycol. This flow blocking system also reduces dust while dumping the debris body, reversing, and transporting the sweeper.

• An externally-visible liquid level indicator and an in-cab hopper liquid full lamp indicator to monitor glycol capacity and ensure maximum productivity prior to offloading.

• An anti-slosh baffle at the hopper inlet to prevent accidental glycol escape.

• Elgins exclusive manual decant system allows liquid mixed with heavy sludge to be pumped off with ease. The unit may be equipped with a hydraulically driven pump off system or a 6 (152 mm) gravity drain.

• 3(76 mm) pipe to 2.5(63.5 mm) flexible canvas hose with quick disconnects

• Hopper capacity 750 gallons (2839 l)

• Pump capacity 300 gpm (19 lps) Approximate hopper offload time: 180 seconds
